A Laboratory Study on the Ability of Head Kinematics to Predict Brain Strains in Helmeted Head Impacts
DownloadFall 2018
Sports and recreation are a leading cause of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in North America, accounting for nearly 30% of TBI cases in youth in Canada. Contact sports, such as hockey and football, put athletes at greater risk of suffering mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI, such as concussion),...
